Edited by Stephen M. Garrett, Global Scholars, USA & Imogen Adkins, Stowe School, UK

The Doctrine of God and the Crisis of Modernity
Jared Michelson, University of St Andrews, UK Michelson traces contemporary debates on the doctrine of God back in time to the philosophical critiques of Hume and Kant Charnock, Schleiermacher and Barth each offered accounts of the doctrine of God This book offers a critical evaluation of these accounts and demonstrates how they were responding to early modern critiques of the possibility of knowing God Indeed, this work also highlights how these critics built their arguments on faulty interpretations of classical theological tradition In doing so, this book carves out a provocative, construct path forward for contemporary theological reflection on the doctrine of God.

The Spirit of the Corporation A Theological History
Michael T. Black, Independent Scholar
The practical consequences of the spiritual destruction of modern corporations are grave for all those touched by corporate power – employees, customers, governments, and the innumerable victims of its institutional inhumanity This work cannot claim to have solved the ‘corporate problem’ Instead, it hopes to provide an alternative to the jargon-filled, self-justifying, and ultimately futile conceptions of the corporate institution which are used to justify its current spiritual aridity

English Public Theology
A Reformation Response to the Crisis of Natural Rights
Joan Lockwood O’Donovan, University of St. Andrews, UK
Examines the public theology of the English Reformation in a fresh and compelling way, as affording elements of a comprehensive theological critique of the western tradition of natural rights It swims against the current tide of scholarly ethical and political discussion which, outside of Anglican circles, overlooks or dismisses the moral and political theology of the English Reformation It also plunges against the tide of influential critiques of modern social and political thought, often Aristotelian or Thomist in perspective, which view Reformation theology as a source of the modern problems rather than a resource for addressing them

Beyond Male and Female?
A Theological Account of Intersex Embodiment
Sam Ashton, St Paul's, Hadley Woods, UK
Are all people either male or female or does intersex embodiment push us beyond the malefemale binary? Traditionalists hold to the former, innovationists argue for the latter This book combines insights from both camps to maintain that we may know the ‘what’ of our sexed embodiment when we work out where we fit within God’s big story of creation to consummation It examines the breadth and depth of ancient and modern approaches to discerning the theological meaning and significance of sexed embodiment.

Natural Law & the Secular Mythos
What Has Been Left "Unsaid" in Current Debates in Natural Law
Gregory Morgan, St Catherine Laboure Catholic Church
This book argues that natural law – when construed as an epistemological and trans-cultural lingua franca, adjudged capable of legitimating the rational intelligibility and universal applicability of specific Christian moral principles within contemporary “secular” discourse – has failed Through a detailed analysis of the contributions of three prominent natural law theorists who are located within a shared philosophicaltheological tradition, namely, John Finnis, Jean Porter, and John Milbank, the text will seek to illuminate the extent to which this failure is as much intramural as it is extramural

In Solidarity with the Earth
A Multi-Disciplinary Theological Engagement with Gender, Mining and Toxic Contamination
Edited by Hilda P. Koster, University of St Michael's College, University of Toronto, Canada & Celia Deane-Drummond, Campion Hall, University of Oxford, UK
Engages an international consortium of theologians, sociologists, and environmental scientists on the effects of resource extraction and pollution on women’s lives, in particular the lives of poor, minoritized and Indigenous women Based on case studies, the book creates a multidisciplinary conversation on the gendered vulnerabilities resulting from extractive industries and toxic pollution, and also charts the resilience and courage of women as they resist polluting industries, fight for clean water and seek to protect the land. While ecumenical in scope, the book takes its departure from the concept of integral ecology introduced in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’

The Pentecostal Gender Paradox
Eschatology and the Search for Equality
Joseph Lee Dutko, Oceanside Community Church, Canada
This study critically assesses the relationship between women’s equality and eschatology in the Pentecostal movement For over one hundred years the role of women in Pentecostalism has been debated without a firm consensus The two competing impulses of the liberation and the exclusion of women in Pentecostal churches has been described numerous ways, including as the so-called Pentecostal “gender paradox ” By examining gender solely through an eschatological lens in history, Scripture, and praxis, Dutko argues that eschatology provides a valid critical approach in the Pentecostal gender debate because it provdes a consistent hermeneutic that authorizes the unrestricted ministry of women

The Scandal of Pentecost A Theology of the Public Church
Wolfgang Vondey, University of Birmingham, UK
This work analyses the day of Pentecost in its significance for the public advent of the church following the death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. The primary interest of this evaluation is to identify the contributions of Pentecost to a theology of the ‘public church’ – a concept originally developed by the historian of religion Martin E Marty At its heart, this book proposes a public ecclesiology with the foundational argument that the day of Pentecost initiates the public witness of the Christian community indicative of its recognition as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Paul, the Temple, and Building a Metaphor
David Anthony Basham, Ashland University, USA
David Basham argues that Paul and the Corinthians share a “system of associated commonplaces” about the Jerusalem temple. He proposes that when Paul applies temple language to the Corinthians by calling them naos theou (“God’s temple”), he sparks a creative process of interaction between the temple and the Corinthian assembly; a process of selecting, emphasizing, and organizing information from the source domain (temple) to see the target domain (the Corinthians) in a new light

Priesthood and Temple in John’s Apocalypse
Constructing the Sanctuary
Timothy B. Tse
Timothy B. Tse argues that, while John uses language drawn from the Hebrew Bible’s descriptions of YHWH’s dwelling place such as the Tabernacle and various iterations of the Temple, scholarship has overlooked the importance of his spatial transformation of that language Tse thus uses theories relating to Relevance, Resistance Theory, Critical Space Theory, and Conceptual Metaphor, to demonstrate that a significant part of John’s apocalyptic strategy of resistance is to re-present his vision to his audience spatially, so that they can experience a divinely ordained alternative to the world in which they live

Neumann proposes that there is far more at work in Mark’s portrayal of Jesus as Son of God, and what it means for Mark to depict him as such, than past scholarship has recognized He argues that Mark presents Jesus’s life from beginning to end as the actualization of Psalm 2: a coronation hymn describing the Davidic king as God’s “son,” which was interpreted messianically in early Judaism and christologically in early Christianity. Rather than a simple title, the designation of Jesus as God’s “Son” in Mark contains and encapsulates an entire story of its own

Reading the Way, Paul, and “The Jews” in Acts within Judaism
“Among
My Own Nation”
Jason F. Moraff, The King’s University in Southlake, USA
Jason F. Moraff challenges the contention that Acts’ sharp rhetoric and portrayal of “the Jews” reflects anti-Judaism and supersessionism. He argues that, rather than constructing Christian identity in contrast to Judaism, Acts binds the Way, Paul, and “the Jews” together into a shared identity as Israel, and that together they embark on a journey of repentance with common Jewishness providing the foundation.

The Countercultural Victory of 1 John in Greco-Roman Context
Conquering the World
Ahreum Kim
Ahreum Kim re-examines conquering language in 1 John, arguing that when the letter is read with the context of Greco-Roman culture in mind, the conflict extends beyond in-fighting within the Johannine community. She suggests that the letter’s author presents a consistent countercultural narrative due to concern about the predominant world, and proposes that the author exhorts the minority Johannine community to hold onto their belief while proclaiming that they are triumphant conquerors against the prevailing “world”

Intergroup Conflict, Recategorization, and Identity Construction in Acts
Breaking the Cycle of Slander, Labeling
and Violence
Hyun Ho Park, First United Methodist Church, Santa Rosa, USA
Hyun Ho Park employs social identity to create the first thorough analysis via such methodology of Acts 21:17—23:35, which contains one of the fiercest intergroup conflicts in Acts. Park’s assessment allows his readers to rethink, reevaluate, and reimagine Jewish-Christian relations; teaches them how to respond to the vicious cycle of slander, labeling, and violence permeating contemporary public and private spheres; and presents a new hermeneutical cycle and describes how readers may apply it to their own sociopolitical contexts

The Structure of Second Corinthians
Paul’s Theology of Ministry
Kei Hiramatsu
Hiramatsu examines the literary structure of 2 Corinthians through an inductive and integrative methodology which focuses on the meaning of a passage to the original audience and how this can inform the meaning for readers today This study proposes that the letter consists of seven major segments that coherently develop Paul’s discourse pertaining to ministry He discusses the theological implications that arise from a literary investigation, and argues that an inductive and integrative approach demonstrates the relevance of studying the literary structure when seeking to gain understanding of the theological implications of this Pauline letter
